Abstract
A summary of the resource.
When the <em>Challenger</em> returned to England, the leader of the expedition, Sir Charles Wyville Thomson, urged Philip Lutley Sclater (1829-1913) to 'undertake the examination of the skins of the birds collected during the voyage'. Sclater, a lawyer, expert ornithologist, and Secretary of the Zoological Society of London, readily acquiesced to Thomson's request. The <em>Challenger</em>'s bird collection numbered 900 in total and they had been preserved by the <em>Challenger</em>'s taxidermist, Frederick Pearcey. Joseph Smit, a Dutch zoological illustrator, executed the plates for Sclater and the <em>Challenger</em> expedition publication. The pair had worked together previously on Sclater's work, <em>Exotic Ornithology</em> (1869). <br />Sclater records in the Introduction of his 'Report on the Birds...' that 'The thirty coloured plates, which illustrate the most remarkable species obtained during the Expedition, have in every case been taken from specimens belonging to the <em>Challenger</em> series.'<br />This collection of plates comes from the second Zoological volume published in 1881.
